Use As WebSentinel Client
The WebSentinel™ supervisor software monitors the behaviour of multiple scanner arrays in a plant. WebSentinel
collects data from the arrays through an Ethernet TCP/IP bus and computes the received information flow as visual
onscreen information.
This parameter allows using application Socket #1 as a WebSentinel Client.
Partial Read Is Treated As
This parameter is only available when the Code Combination is set to
Standard Multi Label
or
Logical Combination
and
the Operating Mode is
On Line
. It defines how partial read conditions on the scanner will be interpreted by
WebSentinel; Good Read, No Read or Partial Read.
Master Diagnostic Check Period (secs)
This parameter allows defining the period, in seconds, that WebSentinel™ will use to check for diagnostic errors on the
Master scanner. If an error is found, it will be sent to WebSentinel.
Heartbeat
The following parameters allow enabling the communication through the TCP/IP interface protocol.
The Heartbeat message is used to signal the device's or system's status at regular intervals to the Host. It has the
following format:
Timeout
This parameter defines the amount of time between two message transmissions. If the selected time out expires and
no transmission has occurred, the Heartbeat message will be transmitted.
Heartbeat Header String
This parameter signals the beginning of the Heartbeat message. It can be a string of up to 128 characters.
Selections: characters from
NUL
(00H) to
~
(7EH)
The Heartbeat Header String should be different from the Heartbeat Terminator String.
Heartbeat Field Separators String
This parameter determines the string used to separate the fields within the Heartbeat message. It can be a string of
up to 128 characters.
Selections: characters from
NUL
(00H) to
~
(7EH)
